Pregnancy & Travel: Concerns About Late Period & Baby Shower Trip

Question
I AM 26YRS OLD, I HAVE 4 CHILDREN, I AM UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE FIRST DAY OF MY LAST PERIOD. MY QUESTION IS ABOUT TRAVELING, I AM 37 WEEKS AND 5 DAYS AND I WANT TO TRAVEL TO MY HOMETOWN FOR A BABY SHOWER BUT MY FIANCEE DOES NOT THINK THAT IT IS OKAY. I DO EXPERIENCE ALOT OF DISCOMFORT WITH THIS PREGNANCY BUT FOR THE MOST PART I AM NOT EXPERIENCING ANY CONTRACTIONS, SOMETIMES I DO FEEL LITTLE SHARP PAINS IN MY LOWER STOMACH AND MY VAGINA BUT I JUST WANTED SOMEONE ELSES OPINION

Answer
I do not allow my patients to travel away from the area where they will deliver after 36 weeks gestation. You can go into labor at any time (especially since you already have 4 children) and you don't want to go into labor far away unless you have arranged a birth plan in the place you will be.
